Clone or Image

I think my C drive may be ready to fail. It is a 500 gb. I purchased a 1 tb drive to replace it. I have created a system image of the current C drive. Can I restore the system image on the new 1 tb drive and then expand the drive or do I have to use a cloning program before the drive fails.

I finally got my geezer rear end up and snooping around and the dreaded clicking noises are coming from my external WD 250 gig drive. I never pay any attention to it as I only use it to store downloaded programs and photos. I have the Cooler Master Cosmos case for my computer, as I wanted something big that would make it easy for me to do the install when I built the computer.

The external drive is to the side and back of the case...out of sight out of mind.

I got a 1 tb external from Newegg to replace it when it finally fails.
